Lake Placid


Pat and I enjoyed the spectacular sight of the High Falls Gorge. It is a 700 feet drop in the Ausable River. The walk along the cliffside was breathtaking.

Next, we headed into downtown Lake Placid. It was a strange feeling to head into a village in the mountains, about three hours from our home, and encounter so many different cultures and languages.



I enjoyed seeing the Herb Brookes hockey arena. I remember being a kid and watching the "miracle on ice" on tv in 1980.



There was a Canadian/American hockey camp going on while we were there.


I am a bit disappointed in not seeing a real live moose. We were told that in Saranac Lake, where we stayed, that they are sometimes seen, but all we saw were antlers and this unlucky fellow.

The High Peaks

Pardon me for my lack of posts, but my husband and I have been in the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. The view above in from the peak of Whiteface Mountain. What a view!


One of the peaks below is Mt. Macy, the tallest peak in New York.
